Meet Ozzy, a stunning and spirited approximately 2-year-old Weimaraner with a zest for life and a heart full of love, currently residing in Howell, Michigan. This handsome boy is neutered, house and crate trained, microchipped, and up to date on all his vaccinations, including rabies, Lyme, and lepto. Ozzy's natural hunting instincts shine through in his behavior. He loves to chase, track, and point at everything in the yard, especially birds! Despite his high drive, he remains focused and well-behaved within the yard. He has clearly had training and knows commands such as "park it," "sit," "stay," "off," and "leave it," and he is currently mastering "heel" and leash training during walks. Ozzy also adapted quickly to an in-ground electric fence. With his sharp intelligence and eagerness to learn, Ozzy has the potential to excel as a working dog, ready to take on any challenge. He enjoys the company of other dogs, especially medium to large breeds, but he prefers a home without cats, small animals, or pet birds/fowl. Ozzy loves being part of a pack but naturally assumes the alpha role and will be the first out the door if given the chance. Once he settles in, Ozzy transforms into a snuggle bug who adores giving kisses and cuddling. If you're looking for a loyal and affectionate companion with a lively spirit, Ozzy could be the perfect addition to your home.

More about this rescue
Great Lakes Weimaraner Rescue is an all-volunteer, not-for-profit group whose primary mission is to help with the rescue & placement of Weims in the Great Lakes region; including Michigan, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin and Ontario.
Dogs that enter our rescue are placed into our foster care network which provides a stable, loving family environment. Each dog's medical & emotional needs are provided for as they wait for their new "forever" home. We believe that every dog deserves a chance to enjoy a good life. We adhere to a "no-kill" philosophy.
GLWR was created in an effort to support & provide for the rescue, recovery, care, rehabilitation & re-homing of Weims in need across the Great Lakes region. No one individual is GLWR...we came together to form a collective & collaborative organization with our sole purpose being to assist Weims in need. We work with the various networks of shelters and containment facilities in several states as well as accept owner relinquishments. We exist solely on the generous donations of those who love these majestic "gray ghosts" as much as we do & the fund raising efforts of our very talented and energetic group. All funds received are used to support the vet care & other essential expenses necessary in the daily care of the dogs.
We believe in doing everything possible to help a dog make the transition to their forever home. We are here for the Weims & the Weims alone...our reward lies not in the accolades of being "rescuers" but in the gratitude we see in the bright, loving eyes of one of our Weims as they move onto their forever home... dogs that were once sad, dejected, & without hope that now have a chance to experience the love and warmth of a family that will truly love and care for them.
